Actually, I can confirm this problem using ARSperl 1.91 and the 7.1 API. When use the 'head' version of ARSperl this does not occur - this is because Thilo Stapff has checked in some additions to ARSperl that did not make it to the 1.91 release.
I will ask Thilo if he can create a 1.92 release. In the mean time, you can checkout the latest version from CVS and use that.
